Depends on the draw doesn't it? I can see Nadal pulling out. Although he's going to play this avo in Madrid, his knee isn't OK. He'll want to save his fitness for Paris and Shanghai I would have thought.

no one is sure about Nadal's knees - rumours have been going round that he will pull out of the doubles with Lopez in Madrid....nothing has been mentioned about Basle, but scheduale still stand as it is...i.e. he will play!

Rafa has tendonitis in his left knee, but on Wednesday, Spanish team physician, Angel Ruiz Cotorro, declared him fit to play, saying he could not do any further damage by playing.

I really hope Tim does well in Basle and Paris and can hopefully get back into the top 20 for the Aus Open. I can't remember the last time he wasn't seeded for one of the big tournaments. A Tim - Andy final would be good for Basle
